Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is common and affects up to one in three women - but most can be helped. Diagnosis is primarily carried out by your GP.
Assessment starts with a conversation about symptoms, urination patterns and any births or surgeries. A gynaecological examination, ultrasound and urine sample may be added. Based on this, an individual treatment plan is drawn up.
